If Dreamworks, with its decent-enough-for-kids entertainment and over-reliance on references to popular culture, is doomed to exist in the shadow of Pixar's monumentally awesome work, then Hanna-Barbera was a kind of chintzy alternative to Warner Brothers 'Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies.

But seriously, the whole trailer works way too hard to convince me it’s a "gritty," "edgy" drama, when I can’t shake the feeling Righteous Kill is the kind of chintzy genre flick that would go direct-to-DVD if it starred, say, Chuck Norris and James Brolin, instead of a pair of beloved Oscar winners.
